Abbey

Member Introductions
  • My little girl is gorgeous–black and white with really pretty markings. Had a red one many years ago (about 1970) that we bought at the humane society for $3.00!! Abbey is two years old and has totally destroyed my house but is finally settling down and learning to listen some. She is so totally basenji that I think she could be transported to Africa and be instantly at home. She spots things most dogs pay no attention to such as airplanes. She sits down on the sidewalk and watches them until they're gone from sight. She is very vocal and makes some sounds that make your skin crawl. Once she saw a little boy walking down the street with his mom and she said, "ooooooh" like you'd say if you had a box of a dozen doughnuts and could eat every one. Sometimes she comes out with noises that are downright embarrassing! I'll tell the story another time about she loves to go to church. Her "grandma" has a little child's keyboard for the other grandchildren and Abbey tries to play it by touching her paws to different keys. She is also fascinated by music boxes and investigates the tv each time it comes on or goes off.

  • Hi! Welcome to Basenji Forums!

    Do you have any photos of Abbey? It would be great if you can post them in the Show Off Your Dog thread.

    Let us know if you need help posting your photos.

    You should share a photo of your mix. We'd all love to meet her.

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
